Hanauma Bay views are positioned on the cliffside on the identical stage because the car parking zone. Yesterday’s article concerning the lookout views of the bay being open for public entry and not using a reservation refers back to the higher stage entry solely, to not the precise seashore under. Mainly, sightseeing from the car parking zone stage is allowed now with out having a reservation.

The Hanauma seashore and bay are positioned under the parking car parking zone stage. To entry the seashore and swim/snorkel, you have to have a reservation to go down a slightly-steep, hillside path.
The identical car parking zone is used for entry to the cliffside views and the precise Hanauma Bay Seaside. Sightseeing from the car parking zone stage could be accessed and not using a reservation, however for entry to the bay, guests will need to have a reservation.
As we talked about yesterday, there’s a $three parking payment for guests and your entire space (together with the car parking zone) is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
